Abstract: Pathological complete response (pCR) is most significantly associated with the likelihood of benefit in neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) treatment. Tumor vascularity and morphology is shown has correlated with the degree of malignancy and prognosis, therefore the change of the vascularity and morphology may help predict the pCR of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. Two new studies which published recently represent that utilized the 3D-HDF ultrasound (US) to quantify vascularity characteristics and identify differences associated with varying levels of chemotherapeutic response is possible.
